monitors ​

First, simpler version of the plugin is still available under the name monitors_v0

Allows relative placement of monitors depending on the model ("description" returned by hyprctl monitors). Useful if you have multiple monitors connected to a video signal switch or using a laptop and plugging monitors having different relative positions.

Syntax:

toml
[monitors.placement]
"description match".placement = "other description match"
Example to set a Sony monitor on top of a BenQ monitor
toml
[monitors.placement]
Sony.topOf = "BenQ"

## Character case is ignored, "_" can be added
Sony.Top_Of = ["BenQ"]

## Thanks to TOML format, complex configurations can use separate "sections" for clarity, eg:

[monitors.placement."My monitor brand"]
## You can also use "port" names such as *HDMI-A-1*, *DP-1*, etc...
leftOf = "eDP-1"

## lists are possible on the right part of the assignment:
rightOf = ["Sony", "BenQ"]

## > 2.3.2: you can also set scale, transform & rate for a given monitor
[monitors.placement.Microstep]
rate = 100

Try to keep the rules as simple as possible, but relatively complex scenarios are supported.

NOTE

Check wlr layout UI which is a nice complement to configure your monitor settings.

Command ​

  • relayout Apply the configuration and update the layout

Configuration ​

placement (REQUIRED) ​

Supported placements are:

  • leftOf
  • topOf
  • rightOf
  • bottomOf
  • <one of the above>(center|middle|end)Of

IMPORTANT

If you don't like the screen to align on the start of the given border, you can use center (or middle) to center it or end to stick it to the opposite border. Eg: "topCenterOf", "leftEndOf", etc...

You can separate the terms with "_" to improve the readability, as in "top_center_of".

monitor settings ​

Not only can you place monitors relatively to each other, but you can also set specific settings for a given monitor.

The following settings are supported:

  • scale
  • transform
  • rate
  • resolution
toml
[monitors.placement."My monitor brand"]
rate = 60
scale = 1.5
transform = 1 # 0: normal, 1: 90°, 2: 180°, 3: 270°, 4: flipped, 5: flipped 90°, 6: flipped 180°, 7: flipped 270°
resolution = "1920x1080"  # can also be expressed as [1920, 1080]

startup_relayout ​

Default to ŧrue.

When set to false, do not initialize the monitor layout on startup or when configuration is reloaded.

new_monitor_delay ​

By default, the layout computation happens one second after the event is received to let time for things to settle.

You can change this value using this option.

hotplug_command ​

None by default, allows to run a command when any monitor is plugged.

toml
[monitors]
hotplug_commands = "wlrlui -m"

hotplug_commands ​

None by default, allows to run a command when a given monitor is plugged.

Example to load a specific profile using wlr layout ui:

toml
[monitors.hotplug_commands]
"DELL P2417H CJFH277Q3HCB" = "wlrlui rotated"

unknown ​

None by default, allows to run a command when no monitor layout has been changed (no rule applied).

toml
[monitors]
unknown = "wlrlui"

trim_offset ​

true by default,

Prevents having arbitrary window offsets or negative values.
